What if a community land trust and a social impact fund got together and had a baby? Meet the Trust Neighborhoods mixed income neighborhood trust (MINT) model.  One of the limiting factors for community land trusts is their ability to raise capital – something which private funds often have in abundance. Learn about the innovative financing model behind Trust Neighborhoods’ MINT and how they help communities facing displacement raise funds to buy residential buildings that provide mixed income opportunities for housing affordability.

Trust Neighborhoods was a 2022 and 2023  Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability Finalist in Finance.

Released in Partnership with the Builder's Daily
